It's that time of year, and we at MediaMall want to give thanks to YOU: our fantastic user community! You guys have all been rock stars during the beta testing months in August, September, October, and up til now. Without your help, PlayOn wouldn't be nearly where we are today. So, thank you!

We also want to thank Joel Durham Jr. for posting "A Tech Geek's Thank You List" at ExtremeTech, for having added PlayOn to his thank you list. We're glad you are thankful, Joel. So are we.

We recently published a new version of PlayOn (2.58.3248) that is our first official release candidate. The trial period was reset to a fresh 14 days, and there are a few improvements here and there. You can read the release notes here, and as always, you can sign up to download at www.getplayon.com. We expect to have the production release ready in a few weeks.

But PlayOn doesn't end there -- not by a long shot. We have tons of features lined up for the end of the year and well into 2009 -- all free for licensed installations. Some of the big items are: support for Netflix Silverlight accounts, support for Nintendo Wii, more content providers, performance improvements, and lots more.

Pass the gravy. Gobble, gobble.
